I dont know why this occurred to me. Just random thoughts as I sat on the toilet. Been noticing a few of my friends on social media re-posting Reclaim Australia/patriot front stuff and that must of sat in the back of my head until the fan walkouts this weekend.... Then my brain sparked up and I thought "we are the Muslims of Australian sport". We have been here for decades but only recently have we become bigger and more noticeable in your neighborhood. We have extremist activists among our supporters who do illegal things occasionally. Can practically hear Pauline Hanson or Rebecca Wilson say "Not all football fans are hooligans, but all hooligans are football fans". Alot of the supporters of the dominant churches (AFL, NRL) want to tear us down for simply observing our faith (gameday). People from within support the trouble makers because they are doing it for their passion of football. Within our own (religion) we have warring factions (WSW ultras fighting MV Ultras ect...) Ah well. Enough of me being weird. Enjoy your Monday.
